Students: if you miss class, please check to see if any assignments are posted.  If they are not, please e-mail or call me or a classmate to find out what you missed.  (There is generally an assignment of some sort, but they don't always find their way onto the Web.)

Ebrary Access.  Off-campus access to the Ebrary electronic book database has changed. In addition to using the user name and password, you will also need to enter a WVU Parkersburg library card number. This is the 15 digit number under the barcode on the back of the card. If you need a card, please contact a member of the library staff. Contact Stephen Hupp at 418 for additional information.
